The US budget deficit widened to about $ 1 trillion in the last fiscal year, jumping to its highest level since 2012, after President Donald Trump cut taxes and boosted spending.
The US budget deficit for the fiscal year that ended September 30 was $ 984 billion, as increased public spending and growing debt service payments overshadowed tax revenues.
The budget deficit is equivalent to 4.6% of US GDP. The previous fiscal deficit was $ 779 billion, or 3.8%.
The fourth consecutive increase confirms that the deficit under Trump is on track to historic highs. The budget deficit raised US public debt to $ 23 trillion.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that the deficit will exceed the $ 1 trillion mark in 2020, with estimates showing that the deficit will be around $ 1.2 trillion each year over the next decade, accounting for about 5 percent of GDP.
The deficit hit an all-time high of $ 1.4 trillion in 2009 as the Obama administration took urgent measures to shore up the banking system to counter the fallout from the global financial crisis.
But the annual deficit fell to $ 585 billion by the end of Obama's second term in 2016, and was criticized by Republicans in Congress at the time for not reducing it further.
Official data in the United States showed that by the end of fiscal 2019, corporate tax revenue rose 5%, compared to the fiscal year that ended in September last year.
Tariffs affected by the trade dispute with China and other countries increased by 70 percent year on year. Imports also rose to about $ 3.5 trillion, up 4%.
With the exception of giant economies, the US budget deficit is somewhat equal or higher than the GDP of a number of large economies such as the Netherlands, Turkey and Indonesia, while it surpasses economies such as Sweden, Belgium, Norway and Iran, according to IMF data.
